By redirecting one of our resources, the members assigned to the Fast Response Vehicle (FRV9) are working four days per week, during business hours. The members of the FRV are a visible deterrent to fires, providing education/training, and responding to fires in the early stages. | Los Angeles Fire Department

LAFD Air Operations, you rock my world. It's incredible to see what goes into a rescue mission, how these guys get everything ready and launched in 4 minutes, and the constant training required to be ready for anything that comes their way. Thank you for allowing our KTLA 5 News crew a rare, close-up glimpse into some of what you do. We rode in an Agusta AW-139, and it was glorious. More with these heroes to come soon to a TV near you.... | Christina Pascucci
